Louise wasn't well, and Maria had the decorators round, but Jackie and me went to Elm Haven community garden as usual. We planted lettuce and spring onion seeds, which we hope to see sprouting within a month

Tower Hamlets Report written by Laura Williams
A rather chilly Monday evening was no match for 9 GoodGymers this evening, all committed to a very physical task in Bow's GET OUT garden.
Meeting at just before 7 at the bottom of Harley Grove, we enjoyed a good 15 minutes of our regular body weight move-routine, ensuring we tackled everything from tricep dip to trap stretch.
Our little group slowly grew, and at just gone 7, we headed around the corner to the large iron gate of the GET OUT garden.
This previously disused, overgrown area of around has been transformed into 'a productive food forest that reflects the principles of permaculture and acts as a hub for education and connecting to nature'.
Tonight GET OUT team member Frankie had several tasks lined up for the team:
The Timber Team were heading to the skate ramp, to shift large planks of wood to the polytunnel and the exit area to help free-up space.
The Weeding Squad headed to the garlic beds to tackle the many weeds that have put down their roots since we planted the bulbs, working carefully around the many weeds in a variety of sizes in this dimly-lit area.
Meanwhile, the dedicated timber team were busy working effectively in pairs shifting very large wooden planks and boards all over the garden.
The brilliant Frankie directed the teams well, assigning them to new areas no soon as one was completed.
8pm came around fast as usual, and at 8:05 we were gathering tools, and admiring Emma and Ilana's final bit of weeding in the patch by the Camellia.
Off to the shed we went, to return kit and pose for our final pics of the night.
Big shout-outs tonight:
... To Martin, our resident head-torch technican.
... To Oliver, on head torch-collection.
...And, a special mention this week, to the GoodGymers who travel across town to join tasks, who tonight included:
John, who travelled from Camden.
Emma who travelled from Croyden.
Oliver who travelled from Southwark.
...and Fiona from Waltham Forest!
Great night, everyone.
